Les Forts de Latour 2016 is the second wine of the prestigious Château Latour, located in Pauillac in the renowned Médoc region. This wine comes from the historical plots of the château's vineyard, including the Enclos de Latour, and is crafted to provide a unique experience that rivals many first wines of Bordeaux. Since its launch in 1966, Les Forts de Latour has worked to establish its reputation as one of the most prestigious second wines in the region. This wine is predominantly made from Cabernet Sauvignon, the flagship variety of Pauillac, complemented by Merlot, giving the wine a robust structure and palpable elegance. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels, some of which are new, where complex layers of aromas and a softly refined texture unfold. The 2016 vintage is notable; recognized for its balance, concentration, and exceptional aging potential. When approaching the glass, notes of cassis, blackberry, and other dark fruits are perceived, interwoven with touches of tobacco, graphite, and spices, characteristics that reflect the classic Pauillac style. On the palate, Les Forts de Latour is a robust and elegant wine, with delicate tannins, impressive fruit concentration, and lively acidity achieving a perfect balance. The finish is long and complex, highlighting mineral and spicy nuances that showcase the terroir of Latour. We recommend serving it between 2026 and 2045, perfectly paired with red meats, game, or high-end dishes, to enjoy its maximum expression.
